Lucas didn't have an answer to those questions but he did feel uneasy about the whole situation, "I need to talk to the other members of the group." Lucas thought, "this is probably just my imagination, but I think that the Dark One wants to use the girl for experiments."

The girls' face was pale. She looked terrified.

'Is this a memory of Izek? It can't be....' He bit his lip as he thought.

Izek was walking around the room, looking at everything.

"So, what is this place?"

Izek was staring at a bookcase full of books.

"This is my secret laboratory! I call it the Dark Lab!"

The Dark One was sitting at the table, smiling.

"This is where I create new monsters! I can create anything here!"

Izek was looking at the Dark One.

"Do you have any monsters in this lab?"

The Dark One nodded.

"Yes, I have tons of monsters."

Izek was looking at her.

"Can I see them?"

The Dark One was smiling.

"Absolutely! This is your lab, after all! You can do whatever you want!"

Izek was still staring at her.

"Wow! I can create anything I want?"

The Dark One was laughing.

"That's right! Anything you want!"

Izek was smiling.

"Anything?"

The Dark One nodded.

"Everything!"

Lucas swallowed his saliva as he listened to this confusing conversation, why was the demon-looking creature coming in and out of this woman's body, why was Izek even okay with that? Lucas had so many questions, that he no longer were able to handle the tension in his mind. He decided to fly out of there and try to find some answers.

Izek was looking at the girl.

"Will you let me create anything I want?"

Izek was looking at the Dark One.

"My friends can't create anything they want."

The Dark One was smiling.

"I'm your friend. So you can create whatever you want."

Izek looked at the girl.

"What about my friends?"

The Dark One was smiling.

"They can't do anything."

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Hey!"

Izek was getting angry.

"Do you mean that they can't create anything?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"But you can, right?"

Izek nodded.

"Then you should make them happy too." freewebno(v)el.com

The Dark One was still smiling.

"You can make them happy by creating things for them."

Izek was smiling.

"I can make them happy?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

'Why? What is she planning?' Lucas thought, 'I don't know what's happening here.'

It all felt like scripted to Lucas, with no emotions, nothing.... 'why is this happening?' Lucas asked himself, 'what is the Dark One doing?' Lucas was still thinking when Izek came closer to the Dark One, "you're going to make my friends happy?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"Of course."

Izek was still looking at the Dark One.

"Thank you."

The Dark One was smiling.

"You're welcome."

Izek was looking at the girl.

"What are you going to make them?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"Whatever they want."

Izek was still looking at the Dark One.

"Anything?"

The Dark One nodded.

"Anything!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Are you sure? They'll love it!"

The Dark One was still smiling.

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Can I make them happy?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"Of course!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Okay."

Izek was still smiling.

"I'm not happy though."

The Dark One was still smiling.

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"What happened?"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"I'm not happy."

"I'm sorry."

The Dark One was still smiling.

"I wish I could make you happy."

Izek was still looking at the girl. freewe bnovel.com

"I want to be your friend."

The Dark One was still smiling.

"I want to be your friend too."

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Okay."

Izek was still smiling.

"Let's make our friends happy together!"

The Dark One was still smiling.

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"What do you want to make them?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"Anything!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"What does your friend want?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"Anything!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Then I'll give you an idea."

The Dark One was still smiling.

"Make her happy!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"How?"

The Dark One was still smiling.

"By making her happy!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Okay."

Izek was still smiling.

"I promise I will make her happy, and I'll make you happy too!"

Izek was still smiling.

"Thank you, Dark One!"

Izek was still looking at the girl.

"Izzy!" The Dark One was still smiling.

'I don't understand, what the fuck is this?' Lucas groaned, when suddenly was pulled into the darkness, and he couldn't see anything anymore. He tried to control his breathing as he heard voices echoing in the darkness, "Izzy! Izzy!"

Lucas was still hearing these voices, but he couldn't see anything.

"Izzy!"

"Lucas!"

He was still hearing these voices, but he couldn't see anything.

"Izzy! Lucas!"

"You see, everything I did in this world was for the sake of the system..." A cold voice echoed through the shadows, "I needed to get rid of all my enemies, that's why I created this place where everyone can kill anyone else, and no one will know who killed whom."

The voices were still echoing in the darkness, "and now you're trapped in here with me for a while."

"Izek!" Lucas cried out, "Izek!"

"I am Izek, and you are Lucas. Now shut up and listen to me." Izek's voice was sounding distant and muffled.

"Izek! Where are you? Show yourself!"

"I'm still here, Lucas. I'm still in this room, which is my lab, and I'm still talking to you."

"Where is this lab?" Lucas asked, "how can I get out of here?"

"You can't escape, Lucas. That's why I need you to help me."

"What do you want from me? Why can't I escape?" So many questions at once were in his head, Lucas couldn't stop asking them.

"Because if you leave this room, then I will disappear."

"How can I trust someone who won't even show himself?"

"You can't, because you're a stupid boy. But I can't stay forever in this lab. My energy is running out, and if I don't get more energy soon, then I will die."

"What do you need from me? How much time are we talking about?"

"As long as I am in this room, I will be able to feed myself with energy from the otherworld. I need to open a portal, which will transport us back to the Otherside."

"How are you going to open a portal inside this room?"

"I'm going to make a door."

Lucas blinked. There was something wrong with what he just heard.

"Why did you bring me here?" Lucas shouted, wanting an answer he began punching the air.

A long and tiring sigh came out of Izek's lips, "the scenario you had experienced before, was the system's doing."

"I don't understand."

"And the scenario you just saw now was my memory," it sounded like Izek placed a metal object on the floor, "when I was still in the Otherside, I had created a machine that would take people into the realm of darkness. This is what the system was waiting for. It was using me as bait."

"You're the one who created that machine?"

"Yes."

"How did you manage to create such a dangerous thing?"

"I was desperate to save my friends."

"But why did you start capturing people here?"

"When I realized how powerful the system was, I started capturing people in order to get energy."

"So you were feeding it with energy?"

"Yes."

"Why did you come back here, if you knew that you were going to be caught by the system?"

"I needed to take a break."

"How long have you been here?"

"I can't remember."

"Do you need to feed the system?"

A strong slapped was heard in the darkness.

"Yes."

"If you're going to feed the system, then I need to know what exactly is going on, Izek, who are you?"

"It's funny how the system is so superior but the people and avatars it chose failed to perform to its games," Izek said, "it was searching for a perfect avatar, someone with power, knowledge and wisdom. Someone who could rule over the otherworld, but it didn't expect the person to betray the system. It's like the system had read too many books and created some unrealistic expectations. In the end, the system is nothing but a corrupted system itself."

"Is that why you've chosen this form?"

"Yes," Izek replied, "this form is designed to look like a human being, and I wanted to make sure that it wouldn't be recognized as an avatar."

"Do you have any idea how many of your kind are living in this world?"

"No."

"More than a hundred of you, right? And you're the only one that has the ability to create a gate between the worlds?"

"Yes."

"That means you're the most powerful avatar in this world."

Izek smiled.

"Yes, and I am also the first one to fall into the trap of the system."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that I have betrayed the system."
